Chapter 1004 There Are Still My Legends Here

In fact, the game was not exciting, not at all.McAllister is the head coach who just joined the team this summer, and he is not a high-level coach. The new tactics designed for the Forest team are still in the running-in trial stage-this cannot be entirely blamed on him.Evan Dalgety has never been able to get him the lineup he wanted, so his tactical training has never been able to carry out normally.

Speaking of Nottingham Forest's new coach, Gary McAllister, Tang En still has a lot of connections with him.It was January 2003 when Twain became the head coach for the first time and coached Nottingham Forest.At that time, the Forest team had just been eliminated by West Ham United in the FA Cup. Tang En uttered nonsense at the press conference after the game, criticizing the referee and the FA, and was suspended for the match.In the next League One (now the British Championship) league, the Forest team challenged Coventry away. At that time, the head coach of Coventry was this old man.

At that time, Tang En was still a rookie to the letter, and was fined to go to the stands.And McAllister was not much better. He was doing two things at the time-both the head coach and the player on the field.That game finally relied on McAllister's free kick to score, and Coventry drew with Nottingham Forest at home.The first and only time the two faced each other was a dead end.

Afterwards, Tang En didn't care about this opponent who met by chance.McAllister has been ups and downs in the low-level leagues for many years, and he has also coached the Premier League team for a short time, but he has never achieved any good results. His most brilliant achievement is just leading the Wolves back to the Premier League last season. He was dug into the Forest team by Evan Dougherty.

After more than ten years of tempering, his coaching level has greatly improved compared to when he first played against Tang En, but it is not enough to manage Nottingham Forest...

Nottingham Forest does not have a set of mature tactics, and their performance on the court relies more on individuals than on the whole.The offense is a bit like hitting wherever you think, without any rules, even if the ball possession rate is high, there is no way to make people feel at ease.On the contrary, Everton, who played away, threatened the Forest team's goal quite a few times.Everton, which Moyes has been running for 20 years, is really extraordinary. If it weren't for Everton's poor financial resources, maybe he can also achieve very high achievements...

Tang En shook his head, and realized that he was distracted again. Why was he still thinking about tactics... It seemed that he hadn't completely shaken off his identity as the head coach. Occupational disease, occupational disease.

※ ※ ※

If there are still people laughing at the American Evan Dalgety for not understanding football, he must not be convinced.Although he can't be as professional as the head coach, he can also see that the current game is boring.

His own team didn't take advantage at all, but had to worry about the opponent's counterattack.This is the result of McAllister's practice for more than a month...

"It's a mess..." Evan Dalgety, who was sitting on the rostrum, snorted.

Alan Adams sitting next to him was silent.

In front of the two of them on the left is the Robin Hood stand where the most die-hard Forest fans gather.As usual, there were a lot of slogans criticizing and insulting Evan Dalgety and Alan Adams.

"Go back to America and eat shit!"

"This isn't your team, it's all of us!"

"FUCK_YOU! Evan Daugherty & Alan Adams!"

"You fags! Go home and fuck each other's assholes!"

……

Of course, the most slogans are similar to this: "Give me back Tony!" "We want Tony!!" "No one can replace Tony Twain!"

Although four years have passed and Nottingham Forest has changed countless head coaches, the fans here still cannot forget Tony Twain.Even, every time a head coach is changed, it can only make them miss the former boss and the current England head coach even more.

No. 11 minutes into the game, the regular program of the Crimson Stadium began.The home fans stood up from their seats one after another, and then faced the direction of the rostrum. There was no command or rehearsal in advance, and the chorus started in a very tacit understanding:
"Tony Twain won the championship for us, but he left. Evan Dalgetty only sells people for money, and he still keeps it. Evan is a big idiot! A big idiot! Oh la la! If you agree, then Stomp your feet with me!"

Rumbling, a sound of stomping feet spread throughout the entire stadium, and the stands of the Crimson Stadium seemed to be shaking, like a small earthquake.

"Evan is a big idiot!!"

Tang En was really dumbfounded when he heard such explicit swear words.In fact, if you want to talk about any dissatisfaction with Evan Dalgetty and Allen Adams, it has long since disappeared in the past four years. They just have different ideas. If it's personal grievances, then there's no need to entangle them.But for the fans, it was absolutely unforgivable that Evan Dougherty and Alan Adams had teamed up to drive Twain away.

How could the two people sitting on the rostrum not feel such an obvious vibration?What's more, after such lyrics have been sung repeatedly, it is no secret what they mean.Every time he hears such a singing voice, Evan Dalgety's face is quite ugly - the face of a person who is called a "stupid" by tens of thousands of people and can still act as if nothing happened is already thicker than the earth's crust. Unfortunately, Evan Dalgety Getty couldn't cultivate to that level.But today's Dalgety is a bit abnormal, he is not angry, or you can't tell whether he is angry from the surface.He sat in his seat, looking at the court below, as if he was distracted.

The singing lasted for 1 minute before it stopped, and the fans sat back in their seats one after another, returning to the watching mode.

It's a pity that the team's performance still hasn't improved.

Allen was not interested in this kind of game that had no sense of beauty and had no hope of winning. He turned his head and chatted with the two guests sitting next to him. These two guests were Arabs from the Middle East, wearing white robes and headscarves very conspicuous.Their appearance here shows that the club seems to be in contact with a consortium from the Middle East.

In fact, most of the guests sitting on the rostrum are not interested in the game. They just take advantage of the opportunity of the football game to socialize.For example, talk to each other about the gains in the stock market and the futures market, talk about the opening of a new store in your own chain store, talk about a certain investment project you are optimistic about, and attract people around you to join in...

Like a social dance relocated to the stands of a football stadium.

Evan Dalgety came back to his senses and found that there were buzzing voices behind him, and the topics they were discussing had nothing to do with football. This sound, like countless flies flying around his ears, made him very nervous. Fidgety, but he can't get up and yell at them all and tell them all to "SHUT_UP".These people are easily offended sponsors...

Evan, who couldn't find anyone to talk to, turned his eyes to the court again, and the score was still 0:0.But Everton has taken the initiative, and Nottingham Forest can only be beaten.The Forest team is indeed in contact with a certain consortium from the United Arab Emirates. This time they are invited to watch the Forest team's first game of the new season. The club hopes that the team can use their outstanding results to raise their value in front of the Arab rich.

But the team's performance is so bad...

McAllister is just a stopgap measure, just a transitional coach. To revive the Forest team, we still need to find a head coach with a level and reputation who can control the locker room.It's just that there are not many such head coaches in today's football, where can I find them?
Evan Dalgety's eyes flicked around, and he caught sight of the slogans on the Robin Hood stands.

"No one can replace Tony Twain!!"

※ ※ ※

Tang En really wanted to yawn, but he held back.This game is too boring, but Teresa is very interested in everything, looking around, very restless in his arms, he doesn't have to worry about having nothing to do...

The Everton players on the field are getting the ball, and the fans around him are booing the Everton players to put pressure on them.Putting the middle finger up is even more commonplace.He kind of regrets bringing his daughter because Teresa has asked him three times what "finger up" means...

In order to divert attention, Tang En could only do everything possible to get his daughter to pay attention to the football game itself. The way to coax her was "Look at your brother Wood playing football!" "Look at your brother Wood falling down!" (Actually is tackling) "Look at your brother Wood..."

Finally, the youngest daughter became a little interested in the game.

But Brother Wood didn't touch the ball anymore, and now the person holding the ball on the court is an Everton player.

Belgian midfielder Marouane_Fellaini (Marouane_Fellaini) is holding the ball. He is a tall midfielder who is Everton's anchor and the main midfielder of the national team.Due to the deep position, no one from the Forest team went up to press, Fellaini was able to control the ball calmly, and finally he passed the football to James Vaughan who retreated to respond.

Vaughan and his striker partner Polish Robert_Lewandowski (Robert_Lewandowski) made a two-for-one cooperation, throwing off George Wood who came up to defend, and after receiving the ball again, he did not give the Forest team's central defender a pounce. The opportunity came up, and he suddenly took a long shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area!

The football rolled past goalkeeper Wayne_Hennessey on the turf, and then crossed the goal line...

"Beautiful long shot! James Vaughan! Everton leads Nottingham Forest 1-0 away!"

The blue fans in the opposite stand jumped up and cheered loudly.Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, fell silent.Many fans around Tang En put their heads in their hands, helplessly looking at the Everton players who were running wildly in celebration.

In fact, they have been more or less used to facing such scenes in the past four years, so they did not boo the team's conceded goals, but chose to remain silent.

In Tang En's eyes, this kind of silence was more like numbness.In the past, as long as the team lost the ball, the fans of the Forest team would immediately boo and boo the goal team.Score a goal at our home ground and not get booed?dream you!

After a while, boos finally came from another direction, it was the most aggressive group of fans.It's just that they are booing Everton or Nottingham Forest, that's unknown.

※ ※ ※

The goal on the field finally interrupted the conversation of the guests on the rostrum. A group of people turned their attention to the field again. After finding out that it was Everton who scored the goal, they quickly returned to their respective topics.

"I know of a project that promises to make a lot of money..."

"Even Cambodia is almost being hollowed out. Is there any place in the world that has not been developed? Antarctica? Ha..."

"I'm going to fly back to New York next weekend, I still have some business to take care of there..."

"Ms. Nancy, you are so beautiful..."

"No, we don't have any problems now, there are no difficulties in operating. I guarantee that this is a transaction that is beneficial to both parties..."

Only Evan Dalgety stared blankly at the Everton players celebrating on the court, feeling unwilling.Even he, who doesn't know much about football, can feel the morale of the team has dropped.

※ ※ ※

The game continues.The Forest fans in the stands were a little frustrated. This time period belonged to the Everton fans. They sang in the stands and cheered for Everton, but the Forest fans couldn't get up to fight against them.

It is impossible to always point the camera at the stadium in the broadcast of every game, and often insert some other shots, such as some shots for the coach’s bench, or when you find interesting slogans on the stands, the shots will pay special attention to them. The other is When there are some famous people in the stands, it will also give a close-up shot.

The live broadcast camera of this game swayed in the stands, first aimed at those few slogans, then suddenly changed, and cut to a certain stand.

The close-up shots of live TV can usually be seen on the big screen at the scene, so when watching a live TV game, you can often see some fans who appear on the TV screen excitedly waving at the camera, and at the same time watching another scene. The big screen on the side.

This is nothing new.But the fans of the Forest team are not in the mood to put on a show. Their team is falling behind. Whoever can smile at the camera must not be a die-hard Forest team fan.

The close-up wasn't meant to be a show for the fans there, either, who obviously meant something else.The camera zooms in, zooms in, zooms in, and then freezes on someone.

"Aha! Let's see who this is!" The game commentator laughed when he saw this person. "Sunglasses and a baseball cap, he looks like a spy..."

Without a doubt, the person who was betrayed by the live TV footage was Tony Twain.Tang En didn't pay attention to it at first, because his mind was all on the field. It wasn't until he noticed that the eyes of the people around him were different, that something was wrong.Because everyone stopped watching the game and turned to look at him instead.

Before he could react to what was going on, a voice suddenly sounded on the live broadcast: "Let us welcome—"

A common voice sounded like a tsunami from the stands: "Tony Twain!!!"

The sound startled Tang En, and he stood up reflexively.As a result, the cheers grew louder.

"Tony! Tony! Tony!!"

Now Tang En finally came to his senses. He knew that he had been exposed, so he simply used Teresa's hand to greet everyone.

To be honest, after four years of leaving here, he still gets such cheers, he is quite proud.

※ ※ ※

The sudden cheers also scared the players on the field. The pass that should have been caught, Mitchell heard out of the boundary, but no fans came to boo him, but the overwhelming "Tony! Tony" yelled.

He raised his head and easily found the focus of the cheers.In the upper stands, there is a person standing there.It's like a king is there to accept the worship of all peoples.

Not only him, but many players were looking up, but not many people could be stunned after seeing that person. After all, the old players of the Forest team were almost gone.

Mitchell was still in a daze, and Wood came up and yelled at him: "What are you doing! Why don't you defend?"

"Look there, George! Boss! It's the boss!" Mitchell pointed to the stands and shouted excitedly.

Wood didn't turn his head, but just stared at Mitchell: "Are you going to let him see you sleepwalking on the court?"

It is really a word that awakens the dreamer.Mitchell ran to participate in the defense, and this time it was Wood's turn to look back into the stands.

※ ※ ※

The cheers continued. Evan Dalgety was taken aback by the cheers at first, but then he actually saw Tony Twain's figure on the TV screen.This surprised him—they hadn't contacted each other for a long time, and he didn't expect Tang En to come to watch the game. He thought Tang En must hate him very much.

Behind him, the social discussion was also interrupted by fans' cheers welcoming Twain.One by one, they asked around suspiciously, looking for the source of the cheers.

"what happened?"

"What are they shouting?"

"Tony? Which Tony? Tony Twain? He's back?"

Allen also stopped talking with the Arabs and turned his attention to the big screen.Sure enough, he saw Tang En and his daughter.

After four years, I even have a child...

※ ※ ※

More than 4 Forest fans in the stands stretched out their hands and bent over in a prostration. They were paying tribute to His Majesty the King, even the King who had been away for four years.Just like the slogan said, no one can replace Tony Twain here.

Tang En waved to his subjects and sat down again. After going on like this, he didn't want to watch the game.

The cheers continued for a while, and then gradually disappeared.

But the pilgrimage to the king wasn't over yet, at this moment someone came up from the side: "Hey, I didn't expect the guy sitting next to me to be Tony Twain. Sign it for me, Tony!"

"I want to take a photo!"

"Your daughter is so beautiful!"

……

For a while, he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans, and Twain had to deal with them one by one.After fulfilling the requirements such as autographs, group photos, handshakes, hugs, etc., he can finally sit down and watch the game again...

When the surrounding sounds finally returned to the normal decibel range, Teresa leaned on Tang En's ear and blew into him, "Dad, which 'Tony' are they calling?"

Tang En laughed this time: "They are calling your father!"

"Is Dad a big star?"

"Yes, big star!" Tang En replied very proudly and affirmatively. "Daddy is the king here." Looking at the field below, he muttered the last sentence: "It used to be..."

※ ※ ※

Perhaps it was because Tang En came to watch the game in person, the morale of Nottingham Forest was greatly boosted.In the ensuing game, they gradually took the initiative, and finally Mitchell equalized the score before the end of the first half.

Mitchell, who scored the goal, ran to the bottom of the stand where Tang En was, and gave a military salute to the top.Everyone knows what his celebration means.

In the second half, Nottingham Forest made persistent efforts and scored another goal.In the end, they reversed and defeated Everton in the away game with a score of 2:1, and won the first victory of the season with difficulty.

But after the game, what people cared about was not the victory of the Forest team, but Tony Twain's "return" to the Crimson Stadium.At the press conference after the game, the media all took Twain’s visit to the game as a question to ask McAllister what he thought about it. not interested."

But the media did not "let him go".After the game, in order to attract attention, some media even went so far as to make headlines—"Returning to Nottingham Forest after four years, His Majesty the King helped the team reverse!"

It looked as if Tang En led the team to victory, poor McAllister...
